[MUMAN3419]

My favorite unis by far

 

[ThunderCat98]

Love the all-whites and all-greens. That visor/shield is fire.

 

[ilmherdfan]

Let’s hope they play as well as they look.

 

[HerdFan73]

I missed the game last week. This Earle dude is unimpressive drive 1.

 

[greengeezer]

I like the defense. The offense, not so much.

 

[greengeezer]

Don’t like special teams at all.

 

[ilmherdfan]

Put Braxton in

 

[HerdFan73]

This new air raid is great. We could never fit 3-3 and outs and a missed FG into 1Q before.

 

[redsfan5590]

Fancher 2.0.

Is this Huff punishing us for making Fancher leave?

 

[HerdFan73]

I hate to be so negative every post, but I don’t know what else to talk about.

If we’re going to win this game, it’s clear Earle is in over his head. Try somebody else before the defense runs out of gas.

4/14 is abysmal I don’t care who you’re playing. And this VT isn’t THAT good.

 

[HerdFan73]

If we can’t recruit better than this at QB then he’s just not going to get it done.

I really think this kid is the 3rd best we have.

 

[johns1124]

Needed that!

 

[Scubafreak]

Needed that!

Support them!

 

[HerdFan73]

Way to cash in on the huge ST play.

 

[ThunderCat98]

Story of the first half: can't run, can't catch, and can't tackle.

 

[HerdFan73]

How do we have a player with his helmet ripped off on the sideline, and then PUSHED DOWN AGAIN, and no flag.

Pathetic job by the officials there.

 

[Chris McLaughlin]

Story of the first half: can't run, can't catch, and can't tackle.

Can’t tackle?

 

[ThunderCat98]

Can’t tackle?

Nope. How many times has the qb got away from guys in the backfield?backfired? Not to mention the two missed tackles on the punt return td.

Tough crowd. Drones is slippery and I think our D is playing lights out.

 

[ThunderCat98]

How about the punt return? You good with the two attempted arm tackles?

 

[johns1124]

D is keeping both teams in the game.

 

[Chris McLaughlin]

How about the punt return? You good with the two attempted arm tackles?

God no. That was pathetic. No argument there.

 

[redsfan5590]

Huff not going away from Earle here would be a fireable offense in most places.

 

[HerdFan73]

It’d be different if we were running the ball well.

But we have 70 yards of offense. And all of these vaunted receivers we have can’t get open.

We HAVE to do something.

 

[ThunderCat98]

Huff not going away from Earle here would be a fireable offense in most places.

To be fair, Earle has put the ball in their hands several times, only for them to drop it. There's a reason some of these guys weren't productive at other schools . . .

 

[johns1124]

Don't look now, but NIU is beating ND.

Two on this drive.

 

[ThunderCat98]

NIU just beat ND

 

[Chris McLaughlin]

NIU just beat ND

Huff to Notre Dame?

 

[Marshall Jeff]

NIU just beat ND

Will marcus freeman get fired in the parking lot?

 

[redsfan5590]

Two on this drive.

The first one was not a good throw.

 

[ThunderCat98]

VT asserting themselves.

 

[Chris McLaughlin]

The first one was not a good throw.

Disagree. Perfect back shoulder throw. Fitzpatrick has to make a play.

 

[ThunderCat98]

The first one was not a good throw.

Wrong. Good coverage and he placed it short and on the receiver's back shoulder where only he could have caught it. Got both hands on it and couldn't bring it in.

 

[sluggo72]

Announcers talking about a QB change. Put Cole in. Huff talked about how well he did after looking at the IPad so long

 

[redsfan5590]

Disagree. Perfect back shoulder throw. Fitzpatrick has to make a play.

dude the defender knocked it down, everythrow is a back shoulder throw.

There was a drop in the first half where the receiver was open over the middle and had to jump which allowed the defender to hit him and jar it loose.
